Two characters in this opera describe their excitement for battle in "Don't like the French". The name "the great jewel of great price" is given to one man and later in this opera, Dansker sings that "Jemmy Legs is down on you". The aria "Look! Through the port comes the moonshine astray" is sung by a man in chains. The title character's utterance of the phrase (*) "Rights o' man" is condemned because it is associated with Thomas Paine, and that character is called "king of the birds!" in one aria from this opera. This opera ends with Captain Vere [VEER] being called "Starry" by the title character, who is hung on the Indomitable. For 10 points, identify this opera based on a Melville work, written by Benjamin Britten.
